There is a plant popularity known rs
"shecpwccd" which grows in great pro-
fusion around sheep pens, hcncelts name.
This weed is possessed of decidedly
poisonous or at least dcleterious qualities,
and the Indians gather quantity OF 1t
and set it atloat on pool in the river,
and standing down stream from 1t they
thrash it with tree branches until the
Juice exudcs and becomes mixed with
the water The result is that every trout
for hundred yards or so below that
point is "doped," or stupefied and
rendered helpless and an easy captive

SEEING THE SUNRISE.
Enthusiastic Tenderfeet Watch for tho
Coming of the Orb OF Day.

One of the points to which the atten-
lion of Colorado tourists is always di-
rected is Mount Gray, one of the finest
peaks of the Rockies, and atfording q
splendid view of the surrounding coun-
try. 1t is considered "the thing" to
witness sunrise from the summit, and
in truth the SIGHT from that altitude
,Q4.000 feet above sea leveD is an i'm
pressive one. About three miles from
the top is Kelso cabin, where you can
stop over night, or at least till 8 in the
morning, when you again set out to
finish the trip. During the last summer
two young men from New York were
making tour of the state, and while at
Georgetown they heard of Mount Gray
and its wonderful view, and so started
out to take it in. They left Graymount
on couple of 'jacks" and arrived at
the cabin about noon. They stopped
there all afternoon and left word with
the guide that he was to awaken them
at the proper time and take them to the
summit to witness the sun rise out of his
eastern-couch. That night the guide
heard them talking aloud in their room
till II o'clock about the expected treat
of the morning. One of them vowed
that he would write sonnet on the
GRAND scene. Sunrise on Mount Gray"
and sell it to the magazines. The other
bewailed the fact that he was not a
painter that he might catch the glory of
the scene and perpetuate IL on canvas
for other eyes. They had travelled near
ly all over the world. but they did not
doubt they were to see the grandest
sight that human eyes ever beheld.
Promptly at 3 o'clock a. m. the guide
reused them and they began the rest of
the toilsome ascent on foot. They fol-
lowed the zigzagging road, tack by tack,
and atlength, weary, hungry, and foot
sore, they gained the summit. They
had made the trip clinging to the guides
coat-tails and hugging the mountain as
they wound their way up its precipitous
sides, for 1t was almost pitch dark and
the path was dangerously narrow at
places. There is rude hut on the ok
treme point of the mountain, and
against this they leaned, shivering and
painting, for the cold was intense and
the air lrarified to painful degree.
Their sensations were new and not alto
gether pleasant The apex of the
mountain was swathed in dense, damp
cloud. which prevented their seeing be-
yond their hands, and the awful still
ness about them was terrifying. The
guide made them sit down facing east,
with their backs to the hut to watch
for the coming orb of day, while he, 10
whom tho sight was common thing.
went about the hut to the other side
and lay down to finish his broken sleep.
When he awokc the sun was in mid-sky
and blazing away for all It was worth.
Hearing no noise. he arose, and went
around the hut There sat the two en-
thusiastic tendorfcet precisely where he
had placed then--fast asleep.

When had the pleasure of making
the acqnaiatance of Baron Nicolas
kaulbars he was only Il simple colonel
and chief of the staff of one OF the army
corps at St Petersburg. That was in
the lifetime of the late car, and the
baron's rise has been rapid since the
present emperor came TO the throne
Baron Kaulbars was then q tall man,
with fairly broad shoulders, but with q
slight stoop and very little flesh on his
bones. His voice is low and soft and
his manner extremely courteous, though
it always gives one the idea of being put
on, and in speaking of weak nationali-
ties or to their representatives his tone
is generally sighting and contemptu-
Gus. He is y capital companion, for he
speaks English, French and German
with equal facility, and has an immense
store of odds and ends of knowledge,
which he makes use of without any
parade, and with frank boyishness
that is very winning. He can hardly
be called q trueborn Russian, for on the
fathers side he is a Finn, and his i'm
mediate female ancestors were German
and English. He has q strong sense of
humor, and is fond of stringing togeth-
or French rhymes, an occupation which
he describes rs tres sympathiQne. As
an instance, we were once climbing n
mountain with several companions,
among them young Russian licuten-
ant of the army of the Balkans, and
this lieutenant, finding the July sun too
much for him, was obliged to halt and
give up the ascent About half way up
we stopped for shortest, and Baron
Kaulbars amused himself by extempo-
rizing a poem on our expedition, but
got no further than the couplct:
La pauvrc Khadonshacvtcn par less chalcurs
accable
A In I'm ne pouvait plus marchcr.
On the same excursion we caught n
curious beetle of considerable size in
the long grass; and as the baron wish
ed to preserve it alive, for he was an
enthusiastic naturalist, we made a pa
per box out OF some old letters. and the
baron actually carried the unhappy
specimen in his pocket to the top Of the
mountain and down again. OF course
l am only speaking of him rs casual
acquaintance, never having any official
intercourse with him, but certainly as
friend he was very pleasant and enter
taining. though the Bulgarian govern
ment would in all probability give q
very different account of him. Still,

to his subordinates should Imagine
that he could be sufficiently brutal and
overbearing should, occasion Offer
